Many thanks to Mick McGeoch at Les Croups for trawling the archives and coming up with the following listing of all the previous Jeff Wood stages. This award is given to remind us of one Les Croup's most memorable characters, Jeff Wood (or 'Woody') who collapsed and died within yards of the Stage 1 Finish in 1998 - a terrible, tragic, day.

The Jeff Woof account is given to the first Vet aged over 50 to complete the designated stage for the year in question, the latter always being a non-mountain stage (as Jeff hated hills).
